Unlicensed legal service workers
threatened by proposed legislation
By B.J. Thomsen
Of the f mrrjlil
A bill recently passed by tho
Oregon House of Represen
tatives. and now being heard bv
the Oregon Senate Judiciary
Committee, has raised the
hackles of the Consumer Soun
ding Board, Inc., an Oregon and
Calitornia based-group of con
sumer advocates and para
legals.
The bill. MB 2301. would re
quire the Board of Covernors of
the Oregon State Bar Associa
tion to investigate any alleged
incidents of unlicensed law
practice. Keith Burns, a Salem
lobbyist and lawyer requested
the hill.
‘ ‘ I’a ra -1 ega I s work i n -
dependency of attorneys to
help people perform legal ser
vices in non-contested cases.”
said Peggy Muse of the CSB.
The law would not only
outlaw para-legals. she said, but
would make it unlawful for
anyone to assist in the prepara
tion of legal documents.
However, "merely assisting
someone in typing a document
or supplying forms" would not
be outlawed by the bill. Reimer
said.
Legislative
issues
"Il is pretty dear that people
(not licensed to practice law)
can I help people decide what
forms to use. or determine what
laws apply, or what action to
take." he said. In short, the hill

fact;, an area where the elec
trons move most freely.
The faster the movement of
electrons, the greater the speed
with which the computer chip
can transfer information or pick
up communication signals.
The research has shown the
electrical conductivity of this
area can be enhanced through
stimulation by white light, or
t h t! persistent photo
conductivity effect. Martin said.
“The photo-conductivitv effect
has been known for a long
time.” Martin said.
While this effect can be
beneficial. Martin said, pro
blems may also occur it the chip
is accidentally exposed to white
or infrared light.
Shining a flashlight on a chip
of this nature could cause a
computer to “crash." Martin
said. "Metal would act as a
shield,” he noted.
Through the layering process,
scientists “grow" computer
chips with several components.
v\ ith the primary component of
the new chips being gallium
arsenide, Martin said.
The top layer of the chip is a
mixture of aluminum, silicon
and gallium arsenide.
In a process called “doping,"
silicon is added to the chip
because it functions as a donor,
or a substance which increases
the conductivity by releasing
electrons into the layer of
gallium arsenide, Martin said."
The second layer is merely
a 1 u m i n u m and g a 11 i u in
arsenide, and has not been
"doped" with silicon as in the
previous layer, he said.
Between these two layers and
the bottom two layers is the in
terface, through which the elec
trons move as they are con
ducted through the chip.
The fourth layer is made up of
pure gallium arsenide, and the
tilth layer is gallium arsenide
that has been semi-insulated to
prevent excess electricity from
being conducted through it
‘‘Typically you don't want
the electrons to move from top
to bottom.” Martin said. “You
want them to move from side to
side so they operate more
efficiently.”
because of the layering pro
cess. scientists are able to chan
nel electricity through areas
where it will have the highest
mobility, and thus the greatest
speed of conductivity through
thr! chip.
This speed is then further
enhanced when the chip is ex
posed to white light
These two techniques are of
greater use because they enable*
devices to turn on and off at a
faster rate than before, as well as
enabling them to process infor
mation faster, Martin said.

are particularly interested in
this kind of technology because
it would enable them to build
higher quality transistor com
ponents lor use in everything
from radios to satellite telecom
munication equipment, Martin
said.
And companies such as IBM,
A . T . & T., Hughes, a n d
Rockwell are interested in the
research because of the faster
rate .it which they could cum

In the future it may be possi

times the speed we use at this
time. Techniques such as
molecular beam epitaxy and the
persistent photo-conductivity
effect will make this possible.
